Before someone asks (suprised no one has already!), here's how to disable the Carrier information/BT plugin or rather the very top line on the WM Treos.
Now, before I share this I have to warn you at this point it is NOT worth it to do this trick as it disables a lot of the phone functions that Palm put on the device (at least on the 700wx it did, I'm assuming for the 750v as well).
If anyone can take this info and go further with it, that'd be great as I hear this as the #1 hack request from users.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Dial Lookup"
Enabled = 0 (for off; 1 is for on)

I cannot dail numbers or find contacts from today screen any more if changed this, and the dialed phone list would not be actived when press green button.
There is another way which might work both to retain the facilty but hide the plugin. But can't test it without a Treo
One day maybe...

Bah! don't say that! This is probably the most request hack out there!
If there is a way I can test for you by proxy (I just did it with Bruce/pocketmax for a Treo Keylight utility to turn off the kb lights)...
I need someone who's fairly comfortable with Visual Studio 2005 (or EVC) and a Treo. If so, get in touch.

Whats Visual Studio 2005? (j/k)
lol, guess I'm out. I'll try to recruit someone who has *both* those qualifications ;-)
I have both, however I'm not a windows programmer and not that comfortable with VS yet. If nobody else volunteers I'll give it a shot.
Hannip will do. I'll be in touch.

geez vijay, I have a lot of posting to do to catch up to your 3,979 posts!

Not that many lol. I'm still way behind Rudegar!

hannip and vijay,
You do realize if that you pull this off you *will* be gods in the Treo community...
No pressure!
i'm a .net 2.0 cf dev, and I have vs 2005.
pm me if you're still looking for volunteers.
i sorta figured it out i made it hide the logo but now theres a big empty space i haven't tested it on 700wx yet but i got it to work with the 700w this is what i got so far
http://ppcgeeks.com/remove-logo-semi-figured-out-t1066.html
the problem i foresee so far is that whenever you reactivate the plugin or receive or make a call it resizes itself and also turns visible.
any ideas vijay?
ok i got rid of the blank space im gonna try something else to see if i can fix the reappearance of the logo.
noman2 - let me know how things go. I don't have a Treo, so it'll be a damn sight easier for you to write then me! But I have some ideas.

one thing that seems to be a problem is whenever its resized or hidden and the plug in gets reactivated.(for some reason this plug in is tied into so much) it automatically re shows and resizes itself.
one thing im thinking of trying is to make this program a background process and making it hide it whenever it notices it.
if you have a better idea please let me know =)
ok i made it check every 10 seconds i tried to make it use the least memory i could ill play with the timing tomorrow but for today im done.
i wont be available most of tomorrow so test it out and leave feed back
NOTE* only tested on 700w
http://ppcgeeks.com/remove-logo-semi-figured-out-t1066.html
noman - I have another idea based on a series of new hacks I've made. Which dll are you resizing (by name)?
Polling isn't the best way, but it at least works, so stick with that for now. You might want an event driven resident app though...

is this possible? just a thought... saw one of the posts where you can change the sound when you slide a keyboard using other pdas so i thought maybe this is also possible with our universals?
hehe! no need to reply to this post though... only if you know how..

Nop doesn't work. Universals don't have that registry
Check out SlideSound at http://tiermann.co.nr
There's also a thread on it at ppcgeeks. It works with QVGA and VGA now.
It's not dependant on the screen driver or anything, so any wm5/6 device that can rotate it's screen should trigger it.
wow that software works, it crashes sometimes but it works anyway. is there any program that executes a sound when the uni is turned on or when you open it ?

It crashes for you? Any error messages, like even a .net error or anything? So far it's only been tested on HTC Apache (6700) with .net Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5, and I believe someone is running it successfully on the Mogul too. If you could post any errors I can see if I can take care of them.

Always puzzled me this. Why would you want everyone around you to know you've just opened or flipped your phone?
just for fun, not for people to see me,
or shall the answer is "I need toys"?
He He. Just like my Samsung, with it's musical box tones on the keypad too. Not the thing to forget when you're trying to send a quick text under the table at a boring business meeting though!

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?

Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.
** Bump **
I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.
*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you point me to the registry change to get the 6 sided cube?
Nope
Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Thx
Hi carlos,
thx for your quick reply. It works like a charm now. I need now some "stylish" icons for my selected apps, but thats another problem.
Thx anyway for your great application.
well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more
all the icon show a black box
and I can't return to a functional version...
Please HELP!!!

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

Hi teride
No, there is a new build now that does not expire, we're up to v2.24. You can download from www.fatattitude.com/software. Let me know if it works for you!
I have a crazy question! I dont know anymore where I got my m2d file from (amnesia) and maybe someone recongnizes the file by its name? (Manila2D22AIO_beta2.cab) Does anybody know where this m2d.cab came from? I can't find anything on the net about it....?
Thanks for the help
Sorry, I just checked a few of the major PDA websites and came up with nothing! You may need to find a newer version or find a kitchen!
I download it yesterday so it isn't old....What I can remember this was a new beta file. Still thanks for the help
Hi!
It's my stuff. Get it from here: http://winmo.sztupy.hu/m2daio/Manila2D22AIO_beta2.cab
It can also be found on MoDaCo: http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...l-in-one-manila-2d-update-22-beta2-available/
Haha the creator himself! Thats nice your here and immediately give me the answer! What I would like to say this is a nice version of m2d. I tweaked it a little with m2dc and discovered the colortabs and then went on tweaking. below is the result.
Almost everything functions ok except a few things
-settings and communications will not open (not that I care)
-graphical glitches in map search
( i should have said this on modaco btw!!!!!! ) But thanks again.
All credits go to sztupy and the m2dc files i used from twolf
btw hope you dont mind I tweaked it?

The cab was made for the omnia. It will open Omnia's "commmanager".
Btw. I don't mind. Tweak as you wish
Would this cab work on an I-Mate 9502, I have been looking for this for some time.
I've looked everywhere for the answer, but can't seem to find it.
I am having trouble copying text messages from my SIM-card to my phone memory.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve that issue? I am using an HTC Diamond with WM6.5.
Thanks a lot.

Bump for visibility.
hahahahaha I had tried this for a very long time!
Seriously it too annoying!
In the end all I could do is :
put my sim in a nokia phone
transfer messages to the phone
sent them to diamond via bt!!
Sorry for the lame solution, but there is no other way!
Asus sim manager
Asus sim manager(any version) does it
Sorry dont have .exe n other related files.

You can also use apps below to save the sms located on sim card & import to device.
Have done so on wm2003se wm5 wm6 wm6.1 & wm6.5 custom ROMs
i don't exactly know what you guys here are talking about...
but if its simply about copying a sms from the sim to the phone (as the title suggests) then i don't see how come no one's posted the most obvious solution i've used myself before...
just as background info to those who need to know- i'm running a com5 23569 self-cooked rom on my htc gene (p3400)
and i stumbled upon the solution to this problem you mentioned while going through one of the millions of flashes and restores we chefs go through...
all i did to copy the message onto the phone memory was open the msg to view it and then hit the left soft key to open the menu and the last option on the menu list simply reads 'copy to phone'...i tap on that and voila!! its done...
do let me know if it works coz i don't think it would be this simple and yet left untried by anyone else and requiring external apps to be installed for it to be done...

don't usually have to contend with too many messages myself...this only arises when i put my sim into a temp phone while the flashing process completes...and at worst i have 4-5 messages to contend with...
